this game is a sleeper

Silkraven

i'm really enjoying this game, though it has no rating. it's called Sphere 3. I think if you're not settled into a game right now you should give this one a shot.

Why?

Might be helpful if you shared a few details on what it's about and what you are enjoying about it.

it has a website. if you wish to know more about the game, I suggest the website.

I'm playing some other game right now that also has a web site.  What makes your game with a web site any better than mine?

More seriously, why did you even start this thread if you're not going to say anything about the game?

I went and looked at it:

Sphere 3: Enchanted World is a brand new MMORPG created for the most hardcore players. Missed the unstoppable PVP-action with non-target system? This game surely will bring you all you want! Take part in epic sieges of huge castles. Use a wide arsenal of siege engines to achieve your goal. Do not focus on the only one strategy — you have thousands ways to be victorious!

Sphere 3: Enchanted World has a strong classic fantasy storyline which currently consists of more than 1000 quests. It will take approximately 600 hours in total to make a complete journey through the story of political deceit, war atrocities and vile treachery.

Key features:

• The world of total PvP: Battles and engagements between individual players, parties, clans, alliances and factions in different modes can occur on the most parts of the game map, sometimes with no exception for stating areas. 
  
• Non-target, no compromises: Sphere 3 combat system provides total freedom of aiming, dynamically calculates the damage and allows a player to quickly pick an optimum attacking ability at a given range with its unique color telltale crosshair.
  
• Performance for the masses: Moderate system requirements make Sphere 3 a perfect place for mass PvP action.
  
• A thrilling story-driven adventure: The game’s storyline comprises more than 1000 quests moving through which a player makes up to 80% of levelling progress. 
  
• Epic, exciting and challenging castle sieges: Conquering a castle is impossible without using an arsenal of siege weapon and demands a whole list of objectives to be completed by attacker (capture the flag points, wipe out NPC defenders, breach the gates etc.). 
  
• It’s all about castles: Owning a castle is a headache of micromanagement, defensive upgrading and constant state of alarm which pays off in the end by anopportunity to get some of the best items available in the entirety of the game. 
  
• Unforgiving yet fair PK (Player Kill) and Karma system: PK is not persecuted in numerous free PvP zones, while gathering bad karma points causes an offender to lose both gold and items after death. 
  
• Well-balanced PvP team: Characters of 9 different classes with their own unique strengths and weaknesses combined in the way to functionally complement each other on the field of battle. 
  
• Diverse PvE entertainment: Dungeons, world bosses, global cooperative missions on the enemy territory etc.

I like a lot about that features list but am not a big fan of the graphics or the fact it's a class based system. It looks like an early 2000s game and that is sure to hurt it's viability. I've kind of learned that even if I can get past the bad graphics, many can't, so MMOs with poor graphics are always going to be small-scale.

It is funny because i just made a post referring to how most all devs LACK the ability to create great PVE content so they always aim for the EASY pvp and here we go yet again proving my point.

There is ONLY one way i like pvp,an arena setting 2 players 1 on 1 or possibly 3-4 if the map is well designed for 3/4.I like NO abilities to one up on the other player,no gear scores or bonuses just a great arsenal of weapons and my thinking/tactics versus your tactics.
Hence why my go to game is still almost 20 years later..UT99 for pvp.

Wizardry

I should note that for the PVE it is like Runes of Magic trying to mimic Wow and guess what your first thing to do in the game is.....cmon guess....yep click that ? over top the npc's head,how immersive ....sigh.

Maybe I'll give it a go one of these days.

The website isn't going to tell me "why" you are enjoying it or believe it to be worthwhile.

More important is Steam info: 47% of reviews are positive.

Median score for all Steam's live games is 81% positive.

Average number of players on Steam in the last 30 days is 7.6. On the official website, the posts on page 1 of the general discussion forum go back to June of 2016. It's sleeping alright.

Not all of us put faith in Steam..>For all I know the average user is 10 years old.

Ok I'll go in blind without doing any research or reading anything and see what happens. If there is 1 person speaking chinese it's getting uninstalled (unless I actually like the game)

EDIT: Conclusion, it's a waste of time. Can I get my 5 minutes back.

That's a serious case of hungry booty syndrome

Yeah, the 2nd one definitely shows where 80% of the development time was invested.

Speaking of one-man-team progression in gaming though, Lost Soul Aside seems to be making some strides after being picked up by Sony (I think sony picked up the project at least):

Isnt Sphere 3 a Russian game?  Designed to insert malware & build their bot network probably   Would not touch that game if it was actually good, which it isn't, cause I actually did try it a while back.  Then I wiped my hd.

I can appreciate the booty effects of babylon project tho.   Too bad it is single player garbage.

Sorry, but I'm too busy to play your spherical game.  Try again when you've got a pseudorhombicuboctahedron game.

It's a sleeper alright....1 person online in their forums right now. I've been in guild forums in dead games with more people online than 1.

Did I see right that one of the girls in the first video had a golden assault rifle on her back but wasn't using it???

I mean aspects of it look cool but I'm not sure I saw much evidence of an actual game. Looked more like someone playing around in a game creation engine.

This just shows you why full loot in MMOs is so meaningless.
